5 | 5 | | WHEREAS, The life and legacy of an outstanding physician and |
---|
6 | 6 | | community leader were recognized with the dedication of the Viola |

---|
8 | 8 | | WHEREAS, Dr. Coleman was born in New Iberia, Louisiana, on |
---|
9 | 9 | | September 25, 1919; she earned her bachelor's degree in education |
---|
10 | 10 | | from Southern University in 1939 and her medical degree from |
---|
11 | 11 | | Meharry Medical College 10 years later; after interning in New |
---|
12 | 12 | | York, she settled in Midland with her husband, Raymond, and |
---|
13 | 13 | | established a practice in 1951; and |
---|
14 | 14 | | WHEREAS, This pioneering African American doctor resolved to |
---|
15 | 15 | | address the problem of racial segregation in her new community by |
---|
16 | 16 | | opening her waiting room to patients of all races; she went on to |
---|
17 | 17 | | play a critical role in the desegregation of Midland's hospital, |
---|
18 | 18 | | restaurants, and public schools; a strong advocate for minority |
---|
19 | 19 | | students, she helped initiate a Head Start program and worked to |
---|
20 | 20 | | improve high school graduation rates; and |
---|
21 | 21 | | WHEREAS, Over the course of a distinguished career, Dr. |
---|
22 | 22 | | Coleman served as medical chief of staff at Midland Memorial |
---|
23 | 23 | | Hospital (MMH) and was instrumental in the creation of an emergency |
---|
24 | 24 | | medical technician program at Midland College; she continued to |
---|
25 | 25 | | maintain her private practice until 1998, when MMH bought her |
---|
26 | 26 | | office and established a community clinic there; not yet ready to |
---|
27 | 27 | | retire, she joined the clinic staff and went on seeing patients |
---|
28 | 28 | | until she was 85; in recognition of her civic leadership and |
---|
29 | 29 | | exceptional achievements, she was accorded the Thomas Jefferson |
---|
30 | 30 | | Award for Public Service, and the Viola M. Coleman High School in |
---|
31 | 31 | | Midland was named in her honor; and |
---|
32 | 32 | | WHEREAS, Administered by Midland Community Healthcare |
---|
33 | 33 | | Services, the clinic in which Dr. Coleman practiced and which now |
---|
34 | 34 | | bears her name has undergone extensive renovation in order to |
---|
35 | 35 | | better serve the people of Midland and the surrounding area; the |
---|
36 | 36 | | Coleman Clinic provides high-quality medical treatment on a |
---|
37 | 37 | | sliding-fee scale and offers such services as preventive health |
---|
38 | 38 | | care, annual checkups, dental care, and management of chronic |
---|
39 | 39 | | illnesses, as well as access to health education, financial |
---|
40 | 40 | | counseling, and social services; and |
---|
41 | 41 | | WHEREAS, For more than 50 years, Dr. Viola Coleman set an |
---|
42 | 42 | | inspiring example of civic engagement, compassion for others, and |
---|
43 | 43 | | commitment to the highest standards of her profession, and it is |
---|
44 | 44 | | indeed fitting that this outstanding medical facility should pay |
---|
45 | 45 | | tribute to her memory; now, therefore, be it |
---|
46 | 46 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
---|
47 | 47 | | Legislature hereby commemorate the dedication of the Viola M. |
---|
48 | 48 | | Coleman Family Medicine Clinic in Midland; and, be it further |
---|
49 | 49 | | RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
---|
50 | 50 | | prepared for the staff of the clinic as an expression of high regard |
---|
51 | 51 | | by the Texas House of Representatives. |
